Whirlwind of Change

Wow! So it's been almost three months since we've added photos and greetings, and during that time our family has purchased our fist house, moved out of Michigan to Illinois, Rusty started a new job as Grounds Foreman, Betsy started to stay-at-home with Ruthie, and Ruthie has grown and changed just as she should! Here are pictures of our family and Ruthie. She is close to 9 months old, she continues to have lots of Firsts every week. In the past two weeks she has accomplished her first crawl, her first pull to stand alone, her first swim in the lake, her first tooth, her first clapping, and her first Burley/bike ride. Ahh!

Here is our first trash day at our new home. This house was a pre-forclosure, and as you can see the previous owners had a different way of living - we scrubbed and cleaned, and hauled this trash to the curb!

Ruthie's first swim at Higgins Lake!

Ruthie's first Burley ride - she loved it!


I love my Daddy, and his hat, and his glasses...

Yea! Love the pics. Ruthie is going to be unstopable soon...look out!

We didn't make friends with our trash man right away either because of the volume of trash when we moved...Our curb looked like yours. Happy settling in! Fight the green carpet!!
